RE: Chris Harris video: McLaren P1

[revgrectifier]

"And what you've all been waiting for me to do is give it some stick." Tiff Needell's historical comment on his F1 review.
18:58 - Chris' reinterpreted version of it.

Needless to say I'm very happy McLaren did it right with the P1.

[MogulBoy]

Loved it.

[Nedzilla]

You really have to hand it to McLaren. They've only made three road cars (four if you count the McMerc) and it seems that two of them have already gone down in history,in most peoples opinions im sure as the two finest sports/supercars ever made.
Not bad going really.

Great vid.
On the downside - why do you (CH) kept interrupting Goodwin? Wasn't very pleasant to watch those moments.

[Art0ir]

Epic. Epic, epic, epic.

Also bored in PS.

You must drink whenever he says "a whole new".

I myself am writing this from hospital, where I'm being treated for alcohol poisoning.

Funny how people see thing differently. I thought the had a surprisingly good rapport for a slidey car molester and a McLaratron 4000 engineer bot.

Great stuff - epic car. Legend for sure.

But . . . what's with the funny lights blinking and all that?

Goodwin is a racer. Harris is a racer.

[Fishtigua]

Jibbering wreck? I think the P1 has made Monkey into Gibboning wreck.

[bosscerbera]

Blimey!
Game-changing car for sure.
Very worthy follow up of the F1, McLaren does it again.

[Wills2]

Great vid, what a car, with a kerb weight of 1450kg and 900hp its got well over 600hp/tonne going through the rear wheels and it's controllable, epic machine.

Most LEDs do that actually, but the human eye doesn't pick up on it, just like flourescent lights that flash at 50hz are difficult to percieve excepe for a vague "it's flickery" feeling.

The camera does pick up on it (strobe) because of how its sensor works.

[Logie]

He's fking loving that, loved watching too. Theres just something about that car... Got this ache in my gut knowning i will never drive one lol!

[Deadlysub]

Great vid Chris really enjoyed that. I thought the technical chat was brilliant and great seeing it driven on the road in traffic.

Mclaren have delivered and produced a groundbreaking car

Funnily enough i've been telling people "it's a whole new thing" for about 3 years!

(usually met by a "why do you want to ruin it with all that hybrid nonsense" reply....)

yes but that's before anyone realised you could weaponise a hybrid system

[JiggyJaggy]

Fantastic video. Pay attention Top Gear!

[Steviebeee]

Well done Chris. Not seen you speechless much, but in this case you are well excused. The P1 is just simply incredible.

One last parting comment though ... 2.4Bar of boost !!! That must feel like heaven

TG were only teasing, there's more to come. They do foreplay just pray the consummation is worth it.
